Math Rock, With Glen Hodgson: Movements, Scenes, and Genres

I invited guitarist for Delta Sleep, Glen Hodgson on to talk us through what is and isn't Math Rock. We got some answers for sure, but I still can never put my finger on what makes something "mathy". I regale Glen with phrases from the early 90s like "wazzy" which just makes me feel old. We also talk about being in Delta Sleep, touring, music production, the Albini sound, and a bunch of other stuff. We work our way from Slint, through Don Caballero, Toe, Pretend, Faraquet, up to Real Terms. We even have a track that even to me doesn't seem very "mathy" Find out more about Delta Sleep, and buy some music at https://www.deltasleepband.com/ LISTEN WITH ALL THE SONGS FOR FREE at either www.infrequency.co.uk or at www.mixcloud.com/tempfans Please pop over to our mixcloud and like and comment on the episodes, it really helps The tunes are all on this Spotify Playlist

Girl Groups, With Molly Tie: Movements, Scenes, and Genres

Punktuation Mag UK editor Molly Tie joins me for a fascinating long conversation about the evolution of Girl Groups. From the Shangri-Las to Girls Aloud, via The Slits, Runaways, Bangles, Donnas, Bananarama, and more. We discuss sexism in pop, exploitation, fashion, marketing, my inability to form cohesive sentences when it's 40 degrees, why Bananarama were way more important than I thought, and ....well, just have a listen. You can find Molly at www.twitter.com/molly_tie and at www.punktuationmag.com/ Help support the show at www.mixcloud.com/tempfans and find out more at www.infrequency.co.uk Theme music by J Fisher

Uncompromising Acts, With John Henderson: Movements, Scenes, and Genres

This took me a while to think up the name for this eclectic journey through the music tastes of Head Honcho at Tiny Global Productions, John Henderson. I think I got it right in the end, despite me using my bad mic by mistake (though it's OK as John does 90% of all the talking) We take a look at artists who just do, or did, their own thing, hard to pinpoint in any specific genre, sometimes on the cusp of greatness, sometimes on the outskirts. Regardless it's a great selection of tunes from Rocksteady, to Hippy Folk, and much much more. THERE IS NO SPOTIFY PLAYLIST THIS TIME AS IT WOULD ONLY BE HALF FULL!!!! (best listen on our site or mixcloud then) With TUNES at www.infrequency.co.uk or www.mixcloud.com/tempfans John runs Tiny Global Productions, who release amazing music from bands such as The Nightingales, Band of Holy Joy, Blue Orchids, David Lance Callahan, and loads more cool stuff.
